Anselm Kruis added the comment: Currently, if you run the test suite of a 64bit Windows python installation it consumes all your memory and - depending on your RAM and swap space - you system becomes unusable. That's a behaviour nobody expects.
I didn't look into the implementation of the test case test_list. Therefore I can't make a proposal what to change. Obviously there are at least two options: - skip the test - replace "sys.maxint" with "sys.maxsize" in test_overflow ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18004> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
